Strange

Famous quotes containing the word strange:

    Is it not strange that sheep’s guts should hale souls out of men’s bodies?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Anyone who knows a strange fact shares in its singularity.
    Jean Genet (1910–1986)

    Ideals possess the strange quality that if they were completely realized they would turn into nonsense. One could easily follow a commandment such as “Thou shalt not kill” to the point of dying of starvation; and I might establish the formula that for the proper functioning of the mesh of our ideals, as in the case of a strainer, the holes are just as important as the mesh.
    Robert Musil (1880–1942)
